If you check out the C4SS “press room,” you’ll see that in October we came within one “pickup” of hitting the 900 mark.

Our goal was to hit 1,000 by the end of the year. That looks kind of unlikely, but with 28 pickups in October, we’re doing better than the “one pickup per weekday” goal we’ve been trying to meet as a matter of course, and we’re getting ready to raise that goal.

Among the October pickups, you’ll see some publications running C4SS material for the first time — Nguoi Viet Daily News (the largest Vietnamese newspaper in the United States), and two sister Georgia newspapers, the Marietta Daily Journal and the Cherokee Tribune.

As always, thanks to our supporters for making this continued progress possible!
